Tallest Church in the World – (Sagrada Familia, Barcelona,Spain)
One of the world’s most renowned churches, the La Sagrada Familia
started construction in 1882, and never finished, due to its sheer size and complexity of the original plan.
Famous architect, Antoni Gaudi, died before his masterpiece in Barcelona, Spain could be realized.The part built by Gaudi was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2005.
The Construction Board hopes to finish the works in 2026, marking the centenary of Gaudi’s death. When completed, the Sagrada Familia will be the tallest church in the world.
While the outside, with its ornate facades and towering spires, almost looks like a gigantic sandcastle, its interior is bathed in colors and light, which floods in through its delightful stained glass windows.
In addition to this, enormous columns reminiscent of trees prop up the church, while gorgeous geometric designs can be found wherever you look.
One of the most innovative and inspired buildings on Earth and without a doubt, one of the most beautiful examples of architecture in the world.
